Metal shavings in coach

    I’m finding metal shavings in the coach most likely from one or another of the slides.  They look like a spiral shaving from a shop lathe.  I don’t hear rubbing or grinding noises when we retract or extend the slide.  

    The vehicle is a 2024 Discovery LXE.  

    Has anyone had this experience?

    Welcome to the wonderful world of sheet metal screws.  They build your RV with thousands of them, and the pilot holes they drill to install those screws create those shavings.  It will take a couple of years for all of them to shake loose and reveal themselves.  Not to worry.
